Chocolate

With Valentine's Day approaching, I thought I'd talk about my favorite food, chocolate. Or rather, my 6yo daughter and her love/hate relationship with the stuff. Cassie has never really been my sweet tooth girl. She decided when she was about 3 that she preferred vanilla ice cream over chocolate, white cake instead of chocolate cake, and given the choice of a vanilla cookie over chocolate one, she would choose the vanilla. When she entered kindergarten, her best friend, A. told her "I don't like chocolate" and suddenly Cassie's vanilla preference had a " raison d'être". So for the next two years Cassie has announced "I don't like chocolate" when offered any of that wonderful concoction. Cool with me, that just meant more for me. However, lately I have noticed Cassie eating chocolate more and more often. Today she announced, as we were making oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, " I don't understand why A. doesn't like chocolate." "Hmmm..." I replied, "So are you saying you always liked chocolate?" "Yes." was her reply as she continued to pick out chips from the cookie batter. "So...were you just pretending to not like chocolate when you were friends with A?" "Yup!" "A. sure was lucky to have you for a friend I think." Imagine giving up chocolate for a year just to be a friend. I'm not saying this is what happened. But this is how I imagine it to have happened. How else can I explain a child of mine NOT liking chocolate? At least she has finally come to her senses. |
